In EA FC 26, you can expect the Clubs mode to have many more nuances than in previous entries in the series. One of the biggest changes is how you create your Pro in Clubs mode. Gone are the days when you simply threw a few points into the traits of the Pro. In the latest version, you’ll need to master the Archetype system before you can create the kind of player you prefer.

In the following article, we’ll delve into Archetypes in EA FC 26 Clubs and how they can alter your experience of the game.

Archetypes are essentially predetermined blueprints of stats and traits based on real-world players. So, rather than manually inputting points into the traits of your Clubs player, you will now have to select their Archetype. The game will have 13 Archetypes in total, although you’ll only be able to choose one when you begin playing Clubs for the first time.

As you play through the mode, you will be able to unlock further Archetypes using Club Coins, reward consumables, or FC Points. With this system, you can start your Pro along the lines you want them to follow and then develop further from there.

Each Archetype in the game will level up over time as you earn Archetype XP, and the leveling will be specific to each Archetype. So, you’ll need to play a particular Archetype to improve it. The following are some ways to earn AXP and level up Archetypes in Clubs mode:

  • You will earn AXP based on how well you perform in a match while playing in your chosen position.
  • Successful passing and tackling, along with scoring goals, will earn you AXP.
  • The match type also plays a role in determining how much AXP you will earn. Some match types give more AXP than others.
  • Every week, you can participate in a few Skill Games to get more Archetype XP.
